Dr. Rod Paige, Secretary of Education, had this to say in his introduction to the visions 2020 report NATIONAL EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY PLAN “Indeed, education is the only business still debating the usefulness of technology. Schools remain unchanged for the most part despite numerous reforms and increased investments in computers and networks. The way we organize schools and provide instruction is essentially the same as it was when our Founding Fathers went to school. Put another way, we still educate our students based on an agricultural timetable, in an industrial setting, but tell students they live in a digital age.” @

Editor's Notes
- Ed 633: This specific class and it’s purpose – The entire focus of this class is directed towards technology effectively utilized in the classroom
- I plan to briefly explain the study’s and all the factors that were considered and included in each. Discussing the quantitative findings of these study's is the focal point of this slide and in doing so I intend to open my audiences eye’s to the endless advantages of technology as it relates to education. Kulik’s Meta-Analysis- Over 500 individual research studies were performed on the overall impact technology has on education - Students who used computers scored at the 64th percentile as opposed to their counterpart without computers coming in 14% less. - Students were able to learn more in less time due to the individualized approach of each child’s need, interest, current knowledge and learning style. - Students maintained a positive attitude Sivin Kachala’s Review – 219 research studies were performed revealing similar findings - Self-concept and student attitudes were directly improved when computers were used for instruction - Both regular and special needs children showed increased achievement in technology rich environments - As a result of technology equip environments; student’s experienced positive effects on achievement in all major subject area. WV BS/CE Statewide Initiative - This program analyzed 950 fifth grade students progress and achievement from 18 elementary schools across the state. Positive Findings: - The more Students participated in BS/CE, the more their test scores rose on the standard 9 - Consistent student access to the technology, positive attitudes towards the technology, and teacher training in the technology led to the greatest student achievement gains. All student test scores rose on the standard 9 b/c of BS/CE with lower achieving student scores rising the most. * Standard 9 is the state mandated elementary testing process
- Bauer and Kenton conducted another study of K-12 teachers, uncovering a number of factors that prevent or prohibit teachers from utilizing technology to its maximum academic advantage. 1. A severe lack of student/teacher technology skills was uncovered. 2. The need for up to date hardware and appropriate software 3. A none existent technical support and the ability or lack of to trouble shoot technical problems. 4. Financially stricken This slide gives me the chance to address some of the problems that are preventing school districts from moving forward. The slide is more focused on getting everything out in the open, and coming up with a solution for each problem. To some degree, a majority of the uncertainty comes from the resilience to change.
- In order to increase the abilities of teachers to implement technology effectively, there must be programs in place to meet these needs(teacher education programs and professional development). Professional Development for technology use should be an integral piece of the school districts technology plan Above I listed some of the criteria that should be included in the administrators and teachers ongoing professional development plan. There are many other examples of components that would fit when referring to a PDP.
- The National Education Technology Plan is essential to teacher education and has many great suggestions for implementation into the school environment. It acts as a learning tool for administrators on how to maximize their budgets, teachers, resources, and provide a guide to becoming an important part of the digital age. The overall plan is meant to help motivate and incite technology driven transformation. This plan takes a more in depth look at each student and the feedback we’ve received about their educational needs. Most importantly, it provides a set of action steps and recommendations that the nation’s school systems can consider as they begin to transform. Its time to make the change, and implement a 5 year technology plan that will ultimately increase student learning. We simply can’t keep telling our kids they are living in a digital age, and not let them experience it for themselves!
